- Going to see Friday 13th tonight at 11.35pm. Late night horror flick at the cinema? Hell yeah!
- Was reading Son Of A Witch yesterday whilst waiting for my Materials Lab. Finished page 186 (or there abouts), looked at next page to find out it was page 263. Brilliant. No pages had been ripped out. No gap in the spine. No missing pages elsewhere. Safe to say wasn't impressed. Did no one else who had read that copy notice? Will be having a trip to the library to complain/inform them. Thank god for eBooks. Albeit with different page numbers.
- Dr Black was running said Materials lab and asked me to stay behind and speak to him. I was thinking 'oh fuck'. It obviously showed as he went on to explain he wanted to discuss mix designs for my dissertation. The new baby (Grace) is making it difficult for him to keep up with what everyone's doing and it's worrying him.
- When discussing this he said to me 'Rachel spotted your nails'. Shit. Fuck. and all the words inbetween. I was trying to think up a way of politely saying 'if you're about to tell me to cut my nails I'm doing a different dissertation'. Luckily this speech was not needed. Apparently if I'm comfortable with working with long nails (why would they be long if I wasn't?!) then they would take special precautions so I could use the machinery. *pumps fist in air*
- Still need to book hotel for Avenue Q. Someone remind me to do that later.
- 8 and a bit days til my first con! Wooooo
- Why is everything the same weekend? Leeds Unis summer ball. Collectormania. Utopia. probably Bramham Horse Trials. I wanna go to Utopia as Gareth David Lloyd and James Moran are doing it. But with that being the saturday and london it wipes out pretty much everything else. Collectormania is the entire weekend and is in Milton Keynes. assuming spatch wants to do the entire weekend. There's no one I wanna see at that so far. Bramham Horse Trials is Thurs-Fri-Sat-Sun. Normally just do Sat/Sun unless is brilliant weather and then I burn badly on the Friday! Only made it to three years so far. Actually might be four as I think one year I just did the friday. That would still allow me to do the Summer Ball -assuming other people want to go. My final year at uni but most people are staying on for another year and Katy Perry isn't likely to make my friends want to go. Hmmm decisions, decisions.
1. Bold the names of guys you'd definitely shag.
2. Italicize the names of guys you might shag after a little persuasion.
3. Leave the guys who don't do anything for you alone.
4. Put a question mark after the guys you've never heard of. ?
5. Strike the guys you wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole.
6. ADD FOUR OF YOUR OWN AT THE END.
NOTE THAT THESE ARE THE FICTIONAL CHARACTERS, NOT THE ACTORS THEMSELVES...

Comment and I'll give you a letter; then you have to list ten things you LOVE that begin with that letter. Afterward, post this in your journal and give out some letters of your own.
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
1. Torchwood - How could this not be number one on my list?! It is made of awesome. Way better than Doctor Who. It's very Buffy like in humour and plot ... and episode names actually. Something Borrowed/Something Blue Sleeper/Sleeper ... I could go on but I won't bore you.
2. Tia Maria - The coffee flavoured goodness that burns in the good way when downed straight. Hell yeah. Tastes good when added to coffee to make a lovely Calypso Coffee
3. Toast - Just because.
4. Touch - I'm a very tactile person so hugs are appreciated. No reason needed.
5. Theatre - Not seen all that much but I bloody love it. And the music is good to sing along to.
6. Teacakes - None have beaten the one I used to get in sixth form ... mmm ...
7. Teachers (The TV programme) - Love the humour and Simon Casey. The donkey and the sheep randomly in every episode. Ooooh and Jonas Armstrong is in one (?) series.
8. Tiny Dancers - They're a band from Sheffield who play an interesting mix of music which is probably best described as folk-rock. But you really should give them a listen even if that sounds a bit weird as I doubt I've done them justice. Seen them live 3 times now and they have some of the most original merchandise I have ever seen.
9. Tiger - It's a larger. Lovely and strong and expensive. Oh well.
10. TARDIS - Cos it is real. And is my money box. And my pen.
Yeah I ran out of ideas. Though T was gonna be WAY easy than that!
26-36. Torchwood
37 . Doctor Who
38-40. BtVS (Amber Benson, Alyson Hannigan & Michelle Trachtenburg)
41-51. Avril Lavigne
53-54. Kaiser Chiefs
55-58. The Cribs
59-60. The Enemy
On the way down, lots of talking so went really quickly until we hit a traffic jam and ended up behind this tanker

Yes I was a little sad and got over excited, squeeled & took a photo. What you expected any less from me?!
Should I phone the number? Tempted to.
